Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Could also just be made up. Fabricating evidence in the age of the computer is not hard.
Especially when the evidence in question was just a picture of an Excel sheet iirc.
Why would an organization keep a database in Excel. Even Microsoft wouldn't recommend that, then again I don't think I'd use Access either, I've run into to many corrupt databases as they get larger, and I assume that database cant be to small
Ha, I’m currently in a company modernizing their IT systems. The number of things relying 100% on excel documents which reference other excel documents, which reference yet more excel documents is concerning. They have an entire “program” based in excel, which takes several hours a day to run, and this runs the majority of the company.
Just because you’ve not seen it, or even thought about it, doesn’t mean it isn’t out there in a live system right now.
I understand that, but at very least a database of 360,000,000 people would over exert 2gb of space, and therefore go beyond the corrupt able data space acceptable for an Access database table referenced to an excel sheet. There are holes that just don't work the there
*I'm not an expert I have just spent 10 years dealing with troubleshooting these errors. In government as well" - life
It could've just been how the report was handed to Musk, I guess. I'm not sure it claimed it was the database itself, just that in the database it had that stuff.
True, quick jot it down on a laptop I suppose.
I looked it up for reference, 2gb is the max size of a table in Access before corruption may occur.
